Pl. Rynok, 27 – former Faurbakhivska/ Faurbachowska townhouse

 The townhouse occupies an extended lot among the buildings lining the west side of Lviv’s Market Square, backed by the house on 8 Teatranlna Street. The ruins of an old stone dividing wall are visible in the yard it shares a yard with the neighboring building at 28 Market Square.

The rectangular, four-storey, brick structure sits on a shallow strip foundation over a basement. The four-storey southern wing runs on an east-west line to the courtyard. The current floorplan was outlined sometime after the 1786 reconstruction. The basement level reflects the traditional Renaissance Lviv divided room with a sub-sidewalk vault, the ground floor is double-bayed.

The symmetrically designed classicist façade centers on the second floor balcony set over the arched entrance and beneath the triangular cornice above the central window. The other windows are framed in strict classical form with level cornices set on corbels above and below. The 19th-century fourth storey addition is set back from the principle structure, with the façade topped in an ornamented cornice. The first floor windows and doors look in on shops. The renaissance front portal in white stone has been preserved from the 17th century.

On the first floor facing the courtyard is original fitted stone mason work. Along the upper floors are balcony galleries with entrances to the living areas.

18th century arches are preserved in the basement and ground floor levels of the main structure, the narrow wooden staircase dates from the 19th century. The structure is of enfilade design.

The monument partially conforms to the parameters of renaissance townhouses located in central Lviv.
